Of course you're right. I tried re-installing the gpp zip, this time
overwriting that file, and it made no difference.
I guess you're right that it must be something on my system conflicting --
I installed the same files to my work computer, a Dell laptop with 48MB
RAM also running 98SE, and it works beautifully. I just wish it worked so
well at home! I thought maybe it was the extra RAM at home causing
trouble. I am using 98SE, I am 100% sure, on both computers.
About the only difference I can see in the setup of the computer at home
versus at work is "write behind caching" is not enabled on the laptop. I
turned it off at home but it didn't help :-(. Of course, the video card,
attached devices, etc. are all different. My device drivers are all up to
date and nothing has caused a problem for me in the past. I hope it isn't
one of those things causing the crash -- I have no idea how I'd fix that.
Sorry I sound so clueless, but I guess I am! I don't usually have
computer trouble -- I can usually figure things out on my own. When I get
home tonight, I will post the full text of the Windows dialog box and
other information that may help. I am pretty sure the dialog box says
"MS-DOS Prompt" is causing the trouble. Not too helpful, I know. I
really appreciate the help!
